1953 Map of Seldovia A-4

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Gulf of Alaska waters dominate this mid-century topographic record, which focuses on the southern maritime edge of the Kenai Peninsula. The map provides a detailed look at the rugged coastline where Rocky Bay and Windy Bay indent the mainland, separated by steep, high-elevation terrain. This survey, compiled from 1951 aerial photography and 1953 multiplex methods, highlights the complex hydrography of the region, including the navigational hazard of Gore Rock and the surrounding bathymetric contours. To the southwest, East Chugach Island stands as a prominent landmark within the Chugach Islands chain, its peaks rising sharply from the sea. The cartography emphasizes the interface between the open ocean and the dramatic coastal landforms, capturing the area before modern development or environmental shifts altered the shoreline of this remote Alaskan reach.
